Removing Ballpoint Ink Stains From Your Chandler Az Carpets

Follow the steps using the instructions that suit your carpet type in Chandler Az―whether it's made of a synthetic material (such as nylon, polyester, or polypropylene) or a natural fiber (such as wool, sisal, seagrass, or coir). If you have wall-to-wall carpeting, it's probably synthetic. An area rug should list the material on its tag. In either case, rule number one: Treat a spot right away; don't let it dry. And before attacking a large stain, test the solution in a small, inconspicuous area to make sure it won't damage the fiber or the dye.Chandler Az
